By default, the firewall does not authenticate RIP messages between
neighbors. To authenticate RIP messages between neighbors, create
an authentication profile and apply it to an interface running RIP
on a virtual router. The following table describes the settings
for the Auth Profiles tab.
RIP – Auth Profile Settings
Description
Profile Name
Enter a name for the authentication profile
to authenticate RIP messages.

If you select Simple, enter the simple
password and then confirm.
If you select MD5, enter one or more
password entries, including Key-ID (0-255), Key,
and optional Preferred status. Click Add for
each entry, and then click OK. To specify
the key to be used to authenticate outgoing message, select the Preferred option.
